I have been teaching privately for the past 7 years and absolutely love it! I love helping my students achieve their goals weather that be concrete or abstract! I've been teaching classes and lessons at the university level for the past two years as well. I have mostly been teaching in trombone (all genres), jazz improvisation, ear training, and music theory but am comfortable teaching within many other concepts. I have been teaching piano on and off for the past 2 years and teach piano at a very beginning level. Read More

My ultimate aim in teaching is to build a solid foundation of music based on the musical ability of each age group and offer a suitable curriculum. In Vietnam, I had a four-year Intermediate Education Diploma in voice. I took many opportunities to be a volunteer musician at church since she 8 years old until now in singing and playing the piano. I have my own private voice and piano studio for all different ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I prefer to instruct out of the James Bastien method books for the student's main lesson assignments. However, I also encourage students to bring and play out of books that inspire and motivate them individually. This keeps lessons lighthearted and keeps the student interested in the next lesson in my experience. I set realistic weekly and monthly goals for my students so I'm able to gauge how the student has performed, as well as how they should be instructed going forward. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I have been teaching casually in some form or another for close to 10 years. While I have not taught at a professional level, I have been teaching in many separate fields: arts, academics, and athletics to name a few. My experiences in multidisciplinary teaching has helped me gain an appreciation for all types of learners and developed skills for connecting with and teaching students of various learning styles. The primary lesson I have taken away from my teaching experience is that the most improvement is found in students with the desire to engage. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Essentials Element Piano Theory. I like to separate practical and theory in different sessions so that they are familiar and comfortable with reading the notes while playing. I would also start with some fun and interesting melodies to get the kids engaged. When it comes to learning theories, I would use fun and creative symbols that associates symbols in music to get the student to remember them better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For students who already have the groundwork of the instrument, I typically move forward with whatever they are interested in learning and what would make them feel more accomplished. For beginner students, I typically start them out in the Fast Track Guitar 1 book just to get them comfortable with the instrument, proper technique, basic music theory, etc. Additionally, I always implement scales into the lessons, no matter the age or skill level.

Instruments: Clarinet
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I practice the clarinet 3-4 hours a day split between two sessions. Each session includes a warm up for my breathing, fingers, and tongue (e.g. long tones, voicing exercises, scales & patterns, articulation exercises), etudes, solo repertoire, and work on orchestral excerpts. A good practice session can be quite taxing, so I usually take a short 5min break every 30-60min to rest physically and mentally.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
It's tricky to choose just one! Even within "classical" music, I love to play music from the Classical era (e.g. Mozart), Romantic era (e.g. Brahms), Modern era (e.g. Berg and Bernstein), and today's contemporary classical music (e.g. Thomas Ades, I also love premiering new works from budding composers!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Clarinet Performance from Indiana University and am currently pursuing my Master of Music degree in Clarinet Performance from California State University at Fullerton. I chose the degree initially because there was nothing I enjoyed more than classical music and playing the clarinet and no classical music I enjoyed more than orchestral music. My dream has been to play professionally in an orchestra, though as I've gotten older and experienced more in the world of classical music, I find that being a modern musician means having a much wider skillset and being open to all sorts of musical work - from performance and education to music administration and entrepreneurship. Degrees in Music Performance have allowed for me to refine my skills as a clarinetist and musician along with make professional connections and explore some of the other great opportunities and paths that exist for the modern musician.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My middle school and high school students consistently place as first chair in their ensembles and attend All-District festivals. One of my students decided to pursue a music performance degree in college, and I was able to help her successfully prepare for her college auditions, which was an especially rewarding experience.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
While I am so proud to be an alumni of Indiana University, the musical accomplishment that I am most proud of has been performing a great first graduate recital. I've played in recitals before, but this one was especially challenging. In the year and a half leading up to this recital, I had been dealing with a debilitating right hand issue that made playing a simple F major scale an incredibly difficult task. It was the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging year I've ever faced as I doubted my future in music, yet I continued to work as hard as possible. While my first grad recital wasn't perfect and there still is a lot of room for improvement, I am very proud of how well it went after such a trying year (not to mention how challenging the repertoire was). I truly enjoyed performing the diverse, modern works I programmed and making the performance my own.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My three biggest tips for a more effective and efficient practice session are: (1) Before starting, plan out what you'd like to work on/accomplish during the session, (2) Record yourself and listen back at least once a day, and (3) Take breaks... often times, rest can be more productive and helpful rather than tiring yourself with tons of unenergized, unfocused practice.

I played the piano until the age of about 12 and then stopped completely. I would love to take lessons again and hopefully you have time to fit me in maybe once a week.
